I had a great experience working with different lecturers. They were all very nice and they helped me a lot in my assignments. I have learn a lot from them,for which i'm very thankful to them.
My experience was good, there is not much to be expected as I study part time but the professionalism is quite lacking when dealing with covid situations
Very bad experience during covid no response to online exam in this critical situation. Students don't have the right to say anything which is actually quite frustrating
